AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BLACKSBURG VA
1236 PM EDT TUE JUN 15 2010
.SYNOPSIS...
THE THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN WILL
PERSIST OVER MUCH OF THE MID ATLANTIC AND MID APPALACHIAN REGION
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. A WEAK COOL FRONT WILL STALL NEAR THE BLUE
RIDGE IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA TODAY. A STRONGER COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO SWEEP SOUTHEAST THROUGH THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...BRINGING SLIGHTLY COOLER AND DRIER AIR INTO THE REGION FOR
THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/...
FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES THROUGH THIS EVENING.
WEAK SHORTWAVE TRAVELING OVER THE TOP OF THE RIDGE THIS MORNING
SPARKING SCT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS NORTH PORTIONS OF
CWA. MEANWHILE...BACK DOOR COLD FRONT JUST N OF CWA PUSHING SOUTH
AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS INTO THE NORTHEAST. EASTERLY WINDS BEHIND
THIS FRONT INTO THE BLUE RIDGE IN SW VA...COMBINED WITH SOUTHWEST TO
WEST WINDS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WILL PRODUCE AN AREA OF STRONG
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS IN SW VA BY
AFTERNOON. NAM AND WRKARW-RNK INDICATED THUNDERSTORMS AFTER 18Z
THIS AFTERNOON WITH BEST COVERAGE ALONG BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS.
FOR ISC GRID UPDATED...ELECTED TO RAISE POPS AND EXPAND LIKELY
POPS ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS. A MOIST AIRMASS WITH PWATS
AROUND 1.5 INCHES WITH WESTERLY FLOW AS SEEN ON RNK 12Z SOUNDING
TRANSLATES TO THE POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINS. WILL
HOLD WITH CURRENT FFA AS BASED ON AREAS WITH LOWER FFG...RECENT
RAINS AND PLACEMENT OF BEST LIFT. WEAK LAPSE RATES ALOFT AND A
DEEP WARM LAYER WITH HIGH PWATS...SUPPORT HEAVY DOWNPOURS THREAT.
CAPES THIS AFTERNOON COULD INCREASE TO 2000 J/KG OR MORE...SO
THERE WILL ALSO BE A THREAT FOR MULTICELLULAR STORMS AND ISOLATED
DAMAGING WINDS.
WILL KEEP THE IDEA OF CONVECTION ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE SPREADING
EAST INTO THE PIEDMONT THIS EVENING...AND GRADUALLY WEAKENING
TONIGHT. HOWEVER...THE THREAT FOR ANOTHER MCS DROPPING SOUTH OVERNIGHT
REMAINS. MADE SOME MINOR ADJUSTMENTS IN TEMPERATURES AND CLOUD
COVER FOR TODAY.
.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
WATER VAPOR LOOP SHOWS ONE WEAK WAVE MOVG OVER THE TOP OF THE
UPPER RIDGE AND INTO THE CENTRAL APPLNS AT THIS TIME. THIS FEATURE
IS GENERATING SCT SHOWERS/TSTMS THAT ARE MOVG INTO WV...BUT THE
TREND ON RADAR HAS BEEN TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY WITH TIME. REMNANTS OF
THIS CONVECTION WILL BE MOVG INTO SE WV AND POSSIBLY THE VA BORDER
COUNTIES THIS MORNING...BUT IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO POSE A THREAT
FOR STRONG CONVECTION AT THIS TIME. MEANWHILE...HIGH PRESSURE
BUILDING INTO THE NORTHEAST U.S. IS PUSHING A BACK DOOR COOL FRONT
DOWN THE EAST COAST. THIS FRONT APPEARS TO BE WORKING ITS WAY
SOUTHWARD INTO VA AT THIS TIME. THE EASTERLY WINDS BEHIND THIS
FRONT INTO THE BLUE RIDGE IN SW VA...COMBINED WITH SOUTHWEST TO
WEST WINDS WEST OF THE BLUE RIDGE...WILL PRODUCE AN AREA OF STRONG
LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE NEAR THE BLUE RIDGE IN SW VA BY AFTERNOON.
WHILE THERE ARE NO APPARENT UPPER LEVEL FORCING FEATURES TO FOCUS
ON FOR CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT...THIS LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE SHOULD
BE SUFFICIENT TO GENERATE NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS THIS AFT/EARLY
EVE. BOTH THE GFS AND NAM SHOW CAPES OF 2000 J/KG OR MORE AS WELL.
I HAVE HIGHEST POPS ALONG AND EITHER SIDE OF THE BLUE RIDGE THIS
AFT/EVE...TAPERING OFF TO HIGH CHC FURTHER EAST AND WEST IN THE
CWA. MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL SHOW A FAIRLY TROPICAL LOOKING
AIRMASS...WITH WEAK LAPSE RATES ALOFT AND A DEEP WARM LAYER WITH
HIGH PWATS...SO LOCALLY HEAVY DOWNPOURS REMAIN A THREAT. IF CAPES
DO CLIMB TO 2000 J/KG OR MORE...THERE WILL ALSO BE A THREAT FOR
MULTICELLULAR STORMS AND ISOLATED DAMAGING WINDS.
HAVE DECIDED TO EXTEND THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE MTNS THROUGH
900 PM THIS EVENING. FFG REMAINS QUITE LOW IN THE MTNS...WITH JUST
AROUND AN INCH IN AN HOUR NEEDED TO PRODUCE FLOOD PROBLEMS. HAVE
ALSO ADDED IN ROANOKE...BOTETOURT AND ALLEGHANY COUNTIES IN SW VA
SINCE THIS AREA IS WHERE THE LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS MAXIMIZED
THIS AFTERNOON...AND SHOWERS/TSTMS MAY BE QUASI-STATIONARY THERE.
HAVE KEPT HIGH TEMPS CLOSE TO GUIDANCE...WHICH IS UP TO 5 DEGREES
COOLER THAN YESTERDAY WITH THE BACK DOOR COOL FRONT AND MORE
CLOUDS.
TONIGHT...CONVECTION ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE WILL HAVE LIKELY SPREAD
INTO THE PIEDMONT IN THE EVENING...BUT SHOULD ALSO BE DIURNAL SO
SHOULD BE GRADUALLY WEAKENING. MEANWHILE...THERE WILL BE A THREAT
FOR MORE MCS-TYPE CONVECTION TO MOVE INTO THE CWA OVERNIGHT-
MAINLY IN THE MTNS WHERE I HAVE KEPT THE HIGHEST POPS. THE FLASH
FLOOD WATCH WILL HAVE TO BE RE-ASSESSED BEFORE THIS EVENING...AND
MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS DEPENDING ON THE
CHCS OF MORE CONVECTION MOVING IN FROM THE WEST. I FOLLOWED A
PERSISTENCE FCST FOR LOWS- KEPT THEM SIMILAR TO PAST FEW
NIGHTS...MID 60S TO LOWER 70S.
&&
.SHORT TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT/...
YET ANOTHER DAY OF CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING
WEDNESDAY. SPC HAS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY AND
THE CENTRAL PIEDMONT A SLIGHT RISK FOR DAY 2. LIFTED INDICES RANGE
FROM ROUGHLY -5C TO -7C AND THE CONVECTIVE AVAILABLE POTENTIAL
ENERGY IS OVER 1000 J/KG HIGHEST EAST AND SOUTHEAST. WITH VERY HIGH
PRECIPITABLE WATER AND A HIGH FREEZING LEVEL...EXPECT MODERATE
SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS TO OCCUR WITH THE HAZARDS MAINLY BEING GUSTY
WINDS AND A POSSIBILITY OF LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING. THERE IS
POTENTIAL FOR THE CONVECTION TO LAST BEYOND MIDNIGHT BEFORE
DISSIPATING.
THURSDAY...A SURFACE HIGH BEGINS TO BUILD INTO THE FORECAST AREA
THUS DECREASING THE CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION. CHANCES CONTINUE TO
LOWER FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.
TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN NEAR TO ABOVE SEASONAL NORMS WITH MAX
TEMPERATURES IN THE LOW-MID 80S WEDNESDAY...AND A FEW DEGREES WARMER
THURSDAY WITH MID 80S WEST TO LOWER 90S EAST. LOW TEMPERATURES WILL
BE IN THE MID 60S TO NEAR 70 WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WHILE A FEW DEGREES
COOLER THURSDAY NIGHT WITH LOW-MID 60S ACROSS THE AREA.
&&
.LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...
SURFACE HIGH COVERS MUCH OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY...DESPITE THIS SOME
MOISTURE LEFT OVER ACROSS THE NW NC MTNS AND SW VA MAY BE ENOUGH FOR
PULSE STORMS ON FRIDAY...SO KEPT SLGT CHC POPS THERE. SOUTHERLY FLOW
BECOMES MORE ORGANIZED ON SATURDAY...AS HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES OFF THE
COAST AND A WEAK BOUNDARY LIES ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES. WILL INCREASE
POPS SLIGHTLY THIS DAY...MENTIONABLE POPS ACROSS NW NC AND SW VA.
WITH NO REAL TRIGGER EITHER DAY...WILL FORECAST MAX T JUST A FEW
DEGREES UNDER FULL H85 ADJUSTMENT/GUIDANCE...CONSIDERING ITS WARM
BIAS OVER THE PAST WEEK OR SO. COLD FRONT NEARS ON SUNDAY...AND AS
WINDS VEER TO THE WEST A LEE TROUGH DEVELOPS IN THE EAST. THE OP GFS
AS USUAL IS MORE AMPLIFIED AT H5 AND STRONGER WITH THIS COLD FRONT
THAN THE ECMWF...NONETHELESS NOT MUCH LIFT IS NEEDED TO ALLOW
CONVECTION TO DEVELOP IN SUCH A WARM AND HUMID AIR MASS. WILL EXPAND
THE AREA OF MENTIONABLE POPS THIS DAY. BY EARLY NEXT WEEK...UPPER
RIDGE IS DAMPENED ENOUGH...SUCH THAT WEAK DISTURBANCES WILL BE
ARRIVING FROM A PERSISTENT UPPER TROUGH IN THE WEST. THIS COMBINED
WITH A WEAK BOUNDARY NEARBY MAY PRODUCE MORE STORMS INTO MONDAY.
&&
.AVIATION /18Z TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
A VERY MOIST AIRMASS AND STRONG HEATING THIS AFTERNOON WILL
COMBINE WITH LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE IN THE MTNS AND FOOTHILLS TO
PRODUCE SCT TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON
INTO THIS EVENING. HIGHEST CONFIDENCE OF TSTMS IS ALONG AND EITHER
SIDE OF THE BLUE RIDGE-THE HIGHEST CHC WILL BE AT ROA...LESSER
CHCS AT LYH AND DAN...AND THEN MORE SCT IN THE BLF AND LWB AREAS.
KEPT THE VCNTY TSTM MENTION IN FOR ALL TAF SITES FOR A PROLONGED
PERIOD THIS AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...AND THEN ALSO INCLUDED A
TEMPO GROUP TO ACCOUNT FOR THE MOST LIKELY PERIOD THAT THE AIRPORT
MAY BE AFFECTED BY A TSTM. ANY TSTM THIS AFTERNOON WILL LIKELY HAVE
HEAVY DOWNPOURS...AND MAY HAVE STRONG WINDS. HAVE INCLUDED MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAIN IN THE TEMPO GROUPS...AND LOWERED VSBYS TO LOW MVFR OR
IFR. TSTM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE DIURNAL...SO COVERAGE WILL GRADUALLY
DECREASE AFTER 16/00Z. SINCE COVERAGE OF RAIN FALL IS EXPECTED TO BE
FAIRLY WIDESPREAD...AND WINDS WILL BE LIGHT TONIGHT...FOG AND
STRATUS DEVELOPMENT IS LIKELY. HAVE TAKEN ALL SITES DOWN TO AT LEAST
MVFR...THOUGH IFR BEFORE 16/12Z IS ALSO A POSSIBILITY.
DEEP MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE WEDNESDAY WITH SCATTERED TO
NUMEROUS SHOWERS/TSTMS...ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AHEAD OF
A COLD FRONT.
SOMEWHAT DRIER AIR MAY FINALLY WORK INTO THE AREA FOLLOWING THE
COLD FRONT BY THURSDAY...FINALLY PROVIDING A BETTER CHANGE
FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF VFR WEATHER (OUTSIDE OF ANY LATE NIGHT
VALLEY FOG) FOR THURSDAY THROUGH THE END OF THE OUTLOOK PERIOD.
